I've built a PF_RING-enabled libpcap, which is in /usr/local/lib.
BTW: which version and where from?
checking for pcap_lib_version... checking for pcap_lib_version in - -lpcap... (cached) no ERROR! Libpcap library version >= 1.0.0 not found. Get it from http://www.tcpdump.org
GNU autoconf. Check your config.log around this string "checking for pcap_lib_version". You will see a small test program that links against your libpcap, calls a *version() API routine, and fails because your version (0.8?) < 1.0.0. This will produce the above error message. I had similar problems building on OpenBSD, which ships libpcap-0.9.x by default. Easiest way out: install Ubuntu provided libpcap v1.1.1 and pass the version checking. If you're on Linux and willing to run a stock libpcap.. Joel: it would be great if you could check with the devs why "configure" for DAQ (and snort I think) insists on libpcap >= 1.0.0 This complicates building on non-Linux or non-standard systems.
